Portovenere and the Cinque Terre Private Shore Excursion from La Spezia
1 day
Private
About this activity
Meet your private driver/guide beside your ship at 8am for the short drive to the delightful fishing village of Portovenere, with its tall and colorful waterfront houses. Enjoy memorable sea views from the promontory where the church of San Pietro stands.
From Portovenere, you'll begin your adventure through the five lands of the Cinque Terre, a landscape so unique that in 1998 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. A great way to discover this area is from the sea. You'll have an option of departing from the harbor to enjoy a ferry ride (additional cost) to Vernazza, a great stop for lunch at a restaurant set on the cliffs, looking out across the bay (lunch at own expense). The ferry journey will take you past Riomaggiore and Manarola with great photo opportunities from the sea.
Meet up with your driver, and visit either Corniglia set up on the hill or enjoy a stroll around Riomaggiore or Manarola. You could continue on to the larger and busier town of Monterosso but please note it is not possible to stop in all the villages in one day and for this tour it is best to keep the day as flexible as possible and see where your journey takes you. In some places you may wish to consider using the train and if the weather and sea conditions are good, the local ferry is certainly recommended.
Wherever your journey takes you this day, you will return with wonderful memories to your ship in the port of La Spezia at approximately 5pm.

Our guide, Giavanno, was the best! Lovely day!
A favourite shore excursion. Giovanni was absolutely wonderful and we loved every minute of this tour!
This tour was fantastic. Walter, our guide was very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about the history and sites. We got to take a hike between two of the towns and had lunch along the sea in Valletta.
Loved having personal experience and stories! Loved being in small setting vs large group tour! Able to do and learn so much more!! And control the tour - if kids are tired or want more time!! Thank you!!!! Highly recommend!!
